Note: "Fundoscope" aur "Ophthalmoscope" ek hi instrument ke alag naam hain. "Retinoscope" ek alag instrument hai alag kaam ke liye.


| Feature | Retinoscope | Ophthalmoscope/Fundoscope |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Refractive error measure karna | Fundus (andar) dekhna |
| What it measures | Light reflex motion | Internal eye structures |
| Red reflex used | Blurred/indistinct red reflex | Clear red reflex |
| Patient cooperation | NOT required | Helpful hoti hai |
| Magnification | Not for visualization | 15x (direct) |
| What you see | Movement of light beam | Retina, optic disc, vessels |
| Also called | Skiascope | Fundoscope, Funduscope |
| Test name | Retinoscopy / Skiascopy | Ophthalmoscopy / Fundoscopy |
| Examiner's retina | Fuses with peephole | Fuses with patient's retina |
Per Kanski's Ophthalmology: "Clear red reflex is more helpful for ophthalmoscopy, while the indistinct red reflex is primarily used for retinoscopy." - Kanski's Clinical Ophthalmology, 10th Ed.
| Disease / Condition | Kyon use karte hain? |
|---|---|
| Myopia (Nearsightedness / Nikatnazri) | Against motion - exact power pata karna |
| Hyperopia (Farsightedness / Doornazri) | With motion - power measure karna |
| Astigmatism | Two axes mein different power measure karna |
| Amblyopia (Lazy eye) | Children mein number check - cooperation nahi chahiye |
| Strabismus (Squint) | Hyperopia (strabismus ka common cause) detect karna |
| Cataract | Red reflex abnormal hota hai - media opacity pata chalta hai |
| Aphakia | Post-surgery power check |
| Pediatric patients / Infants | Without cooperation refractive error pata karna |
| Disease / Condition | Kya dekhte hain? |
|---|---|
| Diabetic Retinopathy | Microaneurysms, hemorrhages, exudates, new vessels |
| Hypertensive Retinopathy | AV nipping, silver/copper wiring, papilledema |
| Glaucoma | Optic disc cupping (C:D ratio >0.5) |
| Papilledema | Raised intracranial pressure - blurred disc margins |
| Retinal Detachment | Retina ka torn ya detached area |
| Central Retinal Artery Occlusion | "Cherry red spot" macula pe |
| Central Retinal Vein Occlusion | "Flame-shaped hemorrhages" - "blood and thunder" fundus |
| Optic Atrophy | Pale optic disc |
| Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) | Drusen, macular changes |
| Vitreous Hemorrhage | Red reflex absent/diminished |
| Cataract | Red reflex absent/dark spots |
| Endocarditis | Roth spots (boat-shaped hemorrhages) |
| Multiple Sclerosis | Optic disc pallor |
| Sickle Cell Disease | "Sea-fan" neovascularization |
Retinoscope = Refraction (R = R) Ophthalmoscope = Observation of fundus (andar dekhna)
Retinoscope → "NUMBER PATA KARO" → Glasses/contact lens ka number
Ophthalmoscope → "ANDAR DEKHO" → Disease diagnose karo
